A High Throughput Protocol is a blockchain or distributed ledger technology design specifically engineered to process a large volume of transactions per second. Such protocols prioritize scalability and efficiency to support widespread adoption and complex decentralized applications. They often achieve this through various architectural innovations, including sharding, layer-two solutions, or optimized consensus mechanisms. The ability to handle numerous transactions concurrently is a critical measure of a network’s operational capacity.
Context
The development of High Throughput Protocols is a primary focus in addressing the scalability limitations of early blockchain designs. Current discussions center on the effectiveness of different scaling approaches in maintaining decentralization and security while significantly increasing transaction processing rates. A key debate involves the trade-offs inherent in these designs, where gains in throughput might come at the cost of increased centralization or reduced censorship resistance. Future developments will likely see further advancements in these protocols, aiming to support global-scale applications with minimal latency and high reliability.
This new DAG-based Byzantine consensus protocol reaches the theoretical 3-round latency limit by eliminating explicit block certification, drastically accelerating finality for high-throughput chains.
